| Quote wigsey="wigsey"This is the spirit the club needs to be engendering (quote from field of dreams). Some great parralells to the North of England and Rugby League.
if you discount it they will come.
“Ray. People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you look around", you'll say, "It's only $20 per person". They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again. Oh...people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.”'" 'Build it and they will come'
That's very true but only if we make everyone possible aware. Most of the Giants promo work will be seen by people who go looking for it like us on here. We've got to get the message to people who don't go on the official Giants website/Giants forums/Facebook/Twitter or the back of the Examiner. I work in Morley so it's mainly Rhino fans but only a couple regularly attend games. None of the part time fans knew about the £8 offer but showed a big interest at such a bargain. So before they've had time to back out i've told them to bring the money in before I finish work in the morning(i'm on nights) and i'll go collect the tickets when I collect mine and hand them out at work next week. I know they're 'Rhino' fans but it's bums on seats which is extra cash in the pot and if the public of Huddersfield see a big crowd on tv and an entertaining game then it could be the kick start our club need. So far i've collected money for 22 tickets with more promised tonight when I go in to work. If more could do something like this then we'd need a bigger stadium never mind rattling around in it. For the sake of a few mins here and there we could make a big difference to our club and help Ken achieve his aim. The club do as much as they can with resources available but nothing beat word of mouth advertising which is US! C'mon sell this game to your friends, family and work mates like you've never done before and let's see what kind of attendance we can attract.

| Been to pick some tickets up today and there was a bloke at the window who had purchased 3 tickets for Town's game on Saturday, he asked woman at counter before he left - " whats these giants tickets for £8 a piece i've heard about ?" so she explained the offer to him and while he was there he said - " oh go on then, i'll have 3 of them too at that price". Obviously i dont know whether he is a rugby fan too but the impression i got was that he wasn't really so well done to whoever that was and hope he enjoys his day !!.

'" Nice one. Does there seem to be more people talking about the Giants due to the promoting for the Leeds game? Living in Dewsbury I don't get to chat to many Giants fans other than on the internet.

| Leeds have apparently sold 2k- surprised as I thought they would be bringing twice that many- still time but can't see them selling 2k in four days. I'm hoping to get mine tomorrow- plus 2 extra. Anyone any idea how many we have sold?

| Less than 2k really? I really am shocked given the hype and buzz I've felt over the deal. Mind I expect a lot will want to get theirs on Sunday when they are down at the game anyway. Ill be getting 6.

| Hmm, if Leeds have only sold 2k and we've sold a lot less than Leeds that's a 3k crowd...
Someone's information is wrong somewhere...

Instinct
I simply can't see it being a 3k crowd for the cup game
Also this mornings xaminer has Ken saying "The response to our £8 tickets for the Leeds game has been magnificent, as has the £25 double header ticket..."
Can't see him saying that if we've only sold a thousand...
